SAFE CRACKERS.

Yesterday morning between 3 and 4
o'clock the safe in the store Of Lee & Viele,
contracting painters, was blown open, and
about $50 in cash and $500 in checks carried
away.
The safe crackers gained entrance to the
room by prying open the rear door. They
broke open the drawers Of the writing desk
and extracted everything of value within.
The safe door was forced open by drilling a
hole just below the lock and filling it with
powder. The resulting explosion must of
been of great sorce, as the whole build
ing, it appeared, was shaken, the safe door
wrenched from its hinges, and an iron
bolt thrown across the room through large
pane of glass and into the wall.
Following the explosion a carriage of some
kind was driven down the street, and into
this, it is thought, the burglars got with the
cash drawer and its contents hastily grabbed
and went southwark.
The checks were, with the exception of one
for $3.50, afterwards found beneath the walk
at the Caldwell house corner.
The report of the explosion was heard
quite distance and naturally attracted at
tention. The store room was soon afterwards
entered and found to be filed with smoke.
but no clue then or has since been found to
the perpetrators of the crime

BACK HOME AGAIN.

W. A. Thomas and wife are at home agair
| having arrived night before last. They spent
July and August in q general round up of
the eastern resorts including Mt. Desert
Maine, the Thousand Islands, Saratoga, Nj
agara ETC., including minor places like..Co-
ney Island and Rockaway. Mr.. Thomas
says no country looked SO inviting to him as
does this valley, and no city seen seemed SO
prosperous as Wichita. He says so far as
any criticism made of the hot weather and
short crops in the Arkansas valley, that we
are well off and that we even ought to re-
joice. He found from New York west, in
Guiding southern Canada, that not only have
the crops utterly failed in many sections
comprising vast territories, but that
even the grass had been burned
up. He says that there are counties in Hi
nois and down as far and including western
New York the corn crops of which could be
carried on a mans shoulder-an absolute
failure. From the exaggerated stories he
heard down east he expected to find Kansas
completely burned up, while the truth is
many counties in Kansas, including sedg-
wick, will have more corn than they had last
year While matters looked somewhat blue
for that crop three weeks ago, it is now
known that much of Sedgwick's corn crop
will be full yield. The EAGLE is glad to
welcome Mr.. Thomas home. He is recog-
nized as being one Of our most enterprising
and level-headed business men.

UPLAND CORN.

Mr.. I. l.. Wineteer of Lincoln township
this county, yesterday left at this Office sew
eral sample ears Of his corn crop. The earE
were plucked from an upland field of thirty
acres, which Mr.. T. is confident will yield
an average of thirty-fve bushels per acre.
The seed was planted the 18th of April, the
land having been fallowed the fall previous.
and the crop was matured by the middle OF
August. The seed used was home grown
and of the yellow or calico variety. Mr..
Wineteer thinks he would have realized as
good yield off the entire ninety acres in the
body cultivated but for the ravages Of the
chinch bugs on part Of it The ears brough.
in are well filed out, and the corn altogether
equal to many very fine specimens We have
seen taken from bottom land.
